Latest drops

Motoring by Press Association 08/01/2019, 11:43 am FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail Send us a story Sign up to our Daily newsletter Asda, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury’s have announced that they are to cut the price of petrol and diesel fuel, after motoring groups criticised forecourts for not responding to the drop in oil prices. It’s hoped that the latest drops will encourage a new fuel price war, with drivers benefitting from cheaper prices at the pumps. Asda led the announcements yesterday after six previous cuts to prices in the last three months. It remains the cheapest large retailer to buy fuel from, with drivers paying no more than 113.7p per litre of petrol or 123.7p per litre of diesel. Morrisons will follow suit, while Sainsbury’s and Tesco will drop their prices on Wednesday. Asda’s senior fuel buyer, Dave Tyrer, said: “As a result of wholesale prices recently falling we’ve been able to pass these savings onto our … [Read more...] about Supermarkets to slash fuel prices after oil price drop

Hyundai apparently deemed that a thorough restyle of its popular Santa Fe crossover wasn’t enough, so it went ahead and mixed up the model names. Debuting today in Seoul, the new Santa Fe and Santa Fe XL are the latest push by the Korean automaker to offer more product to a crossover-hungry marketplace. Oh yeah, and they added a diesel option, too. The five-passenger Santa Fe Sport will now be called Santa Fe. The current long-wheelbase, three-row, seven-passenger model called Santa Fe will be renamed Santa Fe XL for the 2019 model year. An all-new three-row, eight-passenger SUV is currently under development with an all-new name. The diesel version of the 2019 Santa Fe will also get an occasional-use third-row seat with one-touch folding second-row seats for entry into the third row by children. This particular third-row seat will only be available on the Santa Fe diesel. To sum up, the three-row Santa Fe XL takes the place of the old three-row Santa Fe, with that name migrating … [Read more...] about 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Drops the Sport, Adds a Diesel

With pressure escalating during one of the worst weeks in its almost 15-year-history, Tesla Inc. raced to manufacture and deliver as many Model 3 sedans as it could to report to rattled investors. The carmaker still probably came up short. Tesla’s Fremont, California, delivery hub was packed with people Saturday evening as the last hours of the quarter drew to a close. Red couches and tall white tables were set up outside, a DJ played music and a truck selling Vietnamese food was on hand. Behind the scenes, a company that’s struggled to figure out how to mass manufacture cars had implored workers to get production on track and disprove their doubters. But the skeptics are getting louder after the last few days. The electric-car maker led by Elon Musk has come under regulatory scrutiny for the second crash this year involving Tesla’s driver-assistance system Autopilot, the latest of which resulted in a fatality. Moody’s Investors Service last week downgraded the … [Read more...] about Tesla drops as Model 3 deliveries seen coming up short
